i think that is bad example of a carson top. to me it looks like the car had a street rod chop and then they covered it up by adding padding. a carson top dropps more to the back of the car.

[BobT-47P15]

It does appear to be taller in the back than the front.

I would want it at least to look level.

It looks like that first picture was being taken by "The Shadow". Maybe he knows.

I think it is to fool all of us old foggies. Car will never see the rain so why would it even have any?

[HotrodLono]

a pretty bad carson top. I suspect it was to cover a chop gone wrong.

But doen right it could be pretty cool!

Dang, should I move to States and establish a business which sells rulers:D Again another chop when they cut way too much... Otherwise nice ride.

Some one once said that the only chop that is too radical is one that renders it impossible to hang your arm out the window. Gun slits anyone??

This one may have met a similar fate as yours, Bob, and this is the result.

Even a bad Carson top beats scrapping a car that a tree fell on, right??

for sure not a carson top. after chopping my car I know it's alot of work and throwing that phantom top on it would have been the easy way out.

LMAO...When did Godzilla hit town? Looks like the Plymouth got in his way.

[dirty dan]

I wish I had his chrome.

[BobT-47P15]

I guess even the red one looks better than mine.

I was informed today the tree has now been removed.

Won't have time to look til tomorrow or the next day.

May apply the ol Porta Power to raise the roof some and see

what it does for the sides.

Well, you have a point there, Bob. Man, that is sure a sad site. I think a modern day car would have been level with the ground had the same tree fallen on it.
